LLMs aren't AI. They are more like librarians with eidetic memory: they can discuss in depth any book in the library, but sooner or later you notice that they don't really understand what they are talking about. One easy test for

The next-gen LLMs are going to use something like mipmaps in graphics: a stack of progressively smaller versions of the image, with a 1x1 image at the top. The same concept applies to text. When you're writing something, your have a hi
